"I consider myself a crayon,
You may not like me.
But one day,
You'll need me to finish the picture."

Raine smiled faintly at both of them, determined to try and be as cheerful as possible. The fae guessed what Amahlie was thinking, and said, 'Well, screw Eli. Let's go find some food on our own.' Her voice was loud enough for the other three wolves to hear, but it wouldn't quite meet Eli's own ears. Raine flicked her tail, waiting for the others responce. She only hoped they would come with her, so she wouldn't have to be on her own.

"Its the little things,
That make a difference."

Finn nodded. 'Thats okay. It doesn't matter.' The brute said, but his stomach betrayed him, and growled quietly. He nodded, perhaps a bit too eagerly, at his sisters idea. 'Sure, do you guys want to come?' He asked Amahlie and Shnuckouf, just as it started to rain lightly. The rain pattered on the already dew-covered grass, making the soft ground more muddy.

Amahlae

"There's only one thing you can trust in this world- yourself."

"Sure, why not?" Barked Amahlae, springing to her feet. The rain made small indents in the slightly longer fur along her spine, drizzling down her side to form ribcage like patterns. Shaking briskly, Amahlae asked: "Where do you want to go? I spotted a herd of elk to the South of here, but didn't have the nerve to try for one on my own."

Shnuckouf

"Unfortunately, sometimes you just have to accept your lot in life."

Nodding with enthusiasm, Shnuckouf felt a little dubious. He didn't enjoy hunting, but on this occasion it'd be a good way to socialize with his friends without his every word being listened to, or scathing glances sent with the aim of discomforting him further. He didn't trust his own alpha, and Shnuckouf suspected the rest of the pack felt the same. A sorry state for a body of wolves to be in. He'd heard word of "pairings", putting two wolves together- where love had nothing to do with it.

((I'm not sure if Eli's told the pack about pairing the wolves, or if it's already happened- so this post will be edited if need be.))

{Nope, it hasn't happened yet ^^}

"I consider myself a crayon,
You may not like me.
But one day,
You'll need me to finish the picture."

Raine nodded, a smile slowly appearing on her face. 'Great idea Amahlie. I think once we've caught one though, we'd better hide it or something. Otherwise Eli-' She rolled her eyes. '-Will probably just take it for himself. The lazy slob.' The fae glanced over at Eli, checking to see if he was looking their way before quietly walking into the forest. She had heard something about the wolves being paired up, and, personally, she didn't like it. In her opinion, you should only be mates with the one you love, not because some stupid, ungrateful once-loner tells you to love somebody. Raine felt sorry for Chase, whoever was put with him would probably just ignore him because he was an Omega. The thought put her on the edge.

"Its the little things,
That make a difference."

Finn followed his sister, a little annoyed. She seemed to be having all the bright idea's at the moment, but he couldn't surpress a smile when she called Eli a "Lazy slob". In fact, he agreed with her. The brute couldn't remember when he last got off his butt to go hunting since he joined them. Finn also glanced at Eli before moving into the forest. They should still be careful, even if their "Alpha" was probably too buzy choosing their mates for them. Finn's teeth clamped together, he hated it when wolves told you who and what your future was, like it was their decision.

Amahlae

"There's only one thing you can trust in life- yourself."

Amahlae nodded. The idea of having another wolf, much less the alpha she hated, be in control of one of the most important descisions she'd ever make outraged the fae. There wasn't a single wolf in the pack that she'd be comfortable sharing a den with as...more than just friends. Indeed, Amahlae was almost certain that with this new arrangement, many hearts would be broken. Even thinking about it made Amahlae want to claw down every tree in the forest. Seeing as she couldn't do that, she expressed herself by pointedly turning her back on Eli and marching after her friends.

Shnuckouf

"Unfortunately, sometimes you just have to accept your lot in life."

Shnuckouf's gaze lingered on Eli a moment longer than his sisters. Why? The question buzzed in the brute's head. What did Eli have to gain by forcing two wolves together? Not respect- his action would simply breed hatred like mice. Shnuckouf's motivation for everything he did was simple- to be accepted and loved for who he was. The same could not be true with Eli. Nor could it be to gain praise from some unknown peer. Was Eli a power hungry monster? Only time'd tell, but until Shnuckouf had answers, his strong dislike for the alpha would remain unchanged.

"I consider myself a crayon,
You may not like me.
But one day,
You'll need me to finish the picture."

Once out of Eli's sight, the fae charged off, jumping over fallen logs and running around corners. The cold wind brushed Raine's fur as she ran south, searching for the smell of elk. She felt like a young pup again, full of happiness and joy for her life, as if everything was at the tips of her paws. But the truth soon came crashing back to her, and the thought of Eli pairing the wolves up entered her mind once again. Why? Whats the point? Raine thought, unaware that the others were thinking the same thing. What would the Alpha gain from this?

҉҉F҉I҉҉N҉҉҉N҉
"Its the little things,
That make a difference."

Finn raced after Raine, his paws hitting the soft earth with a small, almost undetectable Thump each time. But the pairing system wouldn't get out of his mind. The only possible answer he could come up with that Eli would gain from this was a strong pack. If he place's the strongest wolves together, he'll have the best pack in the Valley. We could be almost indestructable. Finn gulped, glancing at his sister. She might not be the strongest fae, but Raine was an Alpha's daughter, and was most likely to be the next Betess. If Eli paired up with her, Finn could not protect his sister. The thought made him feel sick. Raine had the courage and confidence most of the other wolves didn't have. For once, Finn felt like his sisters assets were her downfall. But at least she has cunning. She could slip out of Eli's grasp. This time though, he didn't feel so sure.

[that helped. Thx ^-^]

G o d d e s s.
The fae gazed around, unaware of who she is paired with. Thoughts ran through her mind as she frowned. Perhaps she get a good partner. Shaking her head, the fae exited her den, smiling as the shining sun greeted her. Walking towards the kill pile, she noticed it was growing low. Taking only a small bite, she chewed her meal. She will need to tell her alpha about this. Perhaps he will orgainize a hunt.

[Rhiannon1995]

Rhiannon
"Keep moving forward so you don't get left behind"
Rhiannon awoke to the sound of wolves talking and took a look at her surroundings. She caught a glance of part of the pack leaving and hearing part of their conversation, decided to tell the new alpha. He was their leader and her loyalty fell to him now. She smirked as she thought to herself, "Not telling the alpha you're hunting? That's against the rules." She pulled herself off the ground and shook the dust off her coat. Them she walked over to the alpha where he lay. "Good morning to you, Eli. I hope you slept comfortably." She said, bowing her head before taking a seat next to him. "I have some information you might be interested in if you will honor me with a small amount of attention. There was a slight smirk as she said this, knowing that he would want to know.

[So...um Rhiannon never got a rank...so what is she?]

[No Going Back]

Amahlae

"There's only one thing you can trust in this life- yourself."

Watching Rhiannon leave, Amahlae curled her lip and muttered a little to loudly: "Contrary to populary belief, some wolves don'tneed a higher ranking one to tell them common sense." Snarling annoyance, Amahlae glanced at Raine, and felt a pang of fear. As a friend, Amahlae would quite happily die for the silvery fae, but this wasn't her concern right now. Raine was everything the other fae was not- strikingly beautiful and charming, to an extent at least. Amahlae hoped that this wouldn't attract Eli's attention when the time came for him to take a mate. She could think of no worse fate for her friend that to be paired with the soul-less alpha, and Amahlae would give herself before she let it happen. Unfortunately, if Raine was singled out there probably wouldn't be much Amahlae could do about it, so she concentrated on finding a trail.

Shnuckouf

"Unfortunately, sometimes you judy have to accept your lot in life."

Shooting a nervous glance at Rhiannon conversing with Eli, Shnuckouf sucked in his breath. Though the brute's knowledge was invaluable, putting it into action was another matter. If Eli attacked them for disobeying the rules, Shnuckouf would be utterly dependent on his sister for protection. Letting out a soft sigh, Shnuckouf caught up with his sister, Raine and Finn in a few well proportioned strides.
